Thank you very much.  Since my CD was a German release instead of the
UK one provided in Musicbrainz with a different art cover, I added a
new release, then I used the new data to successfully rip my CD.  I had
a hard time to figure out how to do everything, but it worked well once
I understood.

I however did not find out how to use abcde-musicbrainz-tool to attach
a Disc ID to an existing album.  I got the full CD information but I
did not know what to do with it.  I therefore installed Picard to do
the job, but it seemed uselessly heavy to install such a piece of
software just to attach a Disc ID to an existing release.

Best regards,

pit
